19 After that, Yeshua entered Yericho and continued walking through it. 2 Then, look, there was a man named Zacchaeus and he was a chief tax-collector and pretty wealthy. 3 He wanted to see who this Yeshua was, but couldn’t see over the crowd because he[fn] was rather short 4 so he ran along ahead of the crowd and climbed a sycamore tree so that he could see Yeshua as he walked past. 5 However, as Yeshua came to that place, he looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry up and get down because I think it would be good to stay at your place.” 6 So he hurried down the tree and happily welcomed him.

7 But everyone who had observed it was grumbling, “Hoy, he’s going to stay with a sinful man.”

8 At dinner, Zacchaeus stood and said to the master, “Listen, master, I’m giving half of everything I own to the poor, and anyone that I defrauded, I’ll pay them back four times over.”

9 “Salvation came to this home today,” responded Yeshua, “as this man has also shown that he’s Abraham’s offspring 10 [ref]because humanity’s child came to look for those who are lost, and save them.”
